your first line is indeed personal. my reply to you concerns a matter of
fact that is not personal, but relates only to your _actions_. yes, they
are _your_ actions, and if you want to take it personally, you are free
to do so for that reason, but you are equally free not to. how could
anyone _not_ take "some Lisp people get SO UPTIGHT" as a personal insult?
here's another _impersonal_ suggestion: grow a clue before you accuse
others of ills you are worse at yourself.
